More of the same today, doing what I've begun calling "The Virginia Thing," which is basically trail that climbs up 1,000-2,000 feet and then rides a flat ridgetop before making a steep descent of 1,000-2,000 feet. Repeat a few hundred times and that's my impression of a good deal of the trail in Virginia.
Very comfortable day to hike, though I hear the rains are coming in the next few days. On the bright side, spring is really beginning to take hold in the valleys, slowly creeping its way up the hillsides to the mountaintops. You can even smell it in the breeze sometimes. Great to be out here on days like this.
